Year One (5 – 6 year olds)

Year One

The National Curriculum of England’s Key Stage 1 (KS1) represents the first two years of the primary school phase. At Bright Skies International School we currently provide a broad and balanced KS1 curriculum up to and including Year One.

Consolidating foundation skills

In Year One, children are taught via interesting cross-curricular topics that encompass not only the core subjects of English and Mathematics, required by the National Curriculum of England, but also Science, Design and Technology, Information and Communication Technology, Art and Design, Geography, History, Music and Physical Education.

English, French or Mandarin afternoon classes

In keeping with our school’s global aims and philosophy, we place a balanced emphasis on the acquisition of an understanding of a second language.

Children can enroll in an English full day programme or study Mandarin or French in the afternoons. Mathematics at this level will be based on the internationally respected Singapore National Curriculum. Children will be offered levelled reading books to read at home and short homework exercises will be offered in numeracy and literacy.

Thai

As directed by the Thai Ministry of Education, Thai language and cultural lessons will also be held several times a week for all students.
